Alexander, former post master of Garibaldi, was taken today to the federal prison at McNeil's Is land, to begin serving a 13 months' sentence passed on him yesterday aft ernoon by Federal Judge Bean, follow ing a plea of guilty to a charge of em bezzlement of postal funds. Alexander's peculations amounted to about $1500. Friends reimbursed the government, and for this reason his at torneys pleaded for leniency. United States Attorney Reames stood against a parole, however, because, he said. Alexander s accounts were snort with an express company and the railroad whose agent he was at Garibaldi. Alexander says he cannot account 1 for the shortage other than by lax1 business methods, and in this connec tion it is pointed out that his books i had not been balanced for eight j months prior to his removal as post master a year and a half ago.

The contract price for all three bridges is $35,246.73. There only remains to let by con tract on the highway a 200 foot via duct just this side of Eagle creek. It will be several weeks before bids are asked for this construction owing to the fact that the highway must be completed at this point in order to get the material on the ground. The via duct will run along the bluff 700 feet above the railroad track. It was first figured to make a cut here, but will be a little mora than the proposed cut all source of danger; will be elim inated. ' j . With the exception of about 1200 feet, the grade between Warrendale and the Hood River county line is complete.
